Looking to take a visit to Japan and noticed that cities like Yokohama and Nagasaki have significant chinatowns and communities that are suggested visits. Wondering if Hiroshima has one as well.

What is the average cost of a Ball & Chain cross-body such as this one or this one in Japan? And what stores locally would carry it (does this brand have their own stores? Or is it sold at specific malls?). How much money should I be prepared to pay for something cute like the one I linked?

Thank you!

Is there any english speaking classes or baby activity classes one could join? I am a foreigner stay at home mom, and need outdoor activities. Since I do not speak japanese, I am looking for english speaking clubs.

For those planning to travel to Hiroshima or who have been there before: What transportation did you use to get around the city?

I am traveling to Hiroshima tomorrow from Osaka but will be making stops along the way. I was planning on shipping my luggage directly to my hotel in Hiroshima but they say they don’t offer that service. I am wondering if there is a place near or at Hiroshima station where I could get my luggage shipped?

“There are many international tourists visiting Hiroshima. I’d like to understand what makes Hiroshima so appealing to them.”

Hello! I live in the United States but my heart is very much drawn to Hiroshima prefecture and I want to be friends with someone who lives there. Maybe that’s you, or someone you know?

I would like to know about your daily life in Hiroshima. What you like about it. What you don’t like. All sorts of things related to the area and culture. It would be great if you were a Carp fan because we would already have that in common. I watch all their games on tv.

I’m a single man in my 40’s. It doesn’t matter if you’re a man or woman. I’m just looking for friendly correspondence, but it would be awesome to form a lasting relationship.

This is only for people who currently live in Hiroshima prefecture. Thank you for your time!

Giveaways happening on Instagram and Twitter, great excuse to check out Peace Wing if you haven't yet.

Please tell me I wanna help all of travelers.

We are foreign family moving to hiroshima. I need advice on where we could buy good but cheap furniture and baby stuff.

Hi. I’m Tomoya. Live in Hiroshima. When you travel in Japan . You may have some treble.

So before come hiroshima, if you have some questions. Please ask me.

I want you to get a good memories I hiroshima.

Hoping to get a bit more than Bookoff would offer, as they only go up to about 20% of the items value apparently. Is there a local buy/sell site somewhere?

I am just planning ahead in the event I couldn't get any tickets to the opening series against the Tigers.

I am currently in the Hiroshima Peace Musuem. I am here with two siblings, a family friend and my mother. I entered the musuem thinking it would be distressing but I never expected to be this upset by the content.

I am autistic, I have quite intense emotions and have trouble trying to hold them in which leads me to shake/whimper whenever I am intensely upset. And I am not loud, I followed the rules to a T in the musuem and didn't go any louder than the squick of someone's shoe.

However, after a very painful part of the exhibit involving the remains of children, I had to sit down on the nearest bench and put my head in my hands to calm down before continuing. Then, my mother came up to me and whispered in my ear something on the lines of "Pull yourself together, this is not your history and you being so visibly upset is disrespectful. You are making this all about you and it's offensive and embarrassing. No-one else is getting this upset, so you should just man-up and stop putting so much attention on yourself."

I was honestly trying my hardest not to cry and I was seriously putting in so much effort into not breaking down in tears, however what my mother said really worried me. My mother told me other people were becoming angry with me and only she had the guts to say it. My siblings didn't seem to notice which I found odd because they are the usually the ones who tell me when I am doing something horrible.

Right now, I am distressed. Not only by the content of the musuem but also by the fear I have deeply upset the people of this city by being this upset by this experience.

So to the people of Hiroshima, I deeply apologise for any offense I have caused. I am sorry I made your history about myself. If not, I am sorry none the less. Is what my mother said true or am I just freaking out and making a mountain out of a mole hill? I don't know, I am trying not to cry and I am in pure shock. I am sorry.

Longshot, but anyone know a place (maybe a bar frequented by expats?) that’ll be televising US presidential tv coverage tomorrow? Appreciate any pointers!

Hi! We are travelling to Hiroshima in February and would really like to eat souffle pancakes for breakfast there. We loved Benitsuru in Tokyo and are looking for something similar. I also went to Happy pancake in Sapporo and they were very good. I saw there is a Happy pancake place here, but it says it is temporary closed. Does anyone have any information on that? Are there any other similar places we could go to? Thanks!

Hi everybody,

just like the title says, do you know if and where you can watch the LoL-Worlds finale today night?

Hey, I am searching for a shared house or a place to stay for a short term (say, 4-5 months) in Hiroshima. I am a non-Japanese currently in Japan, but I intend to move to Hiroshima to job-hunt.

Any links or tips are welcome.

Hello! We are Southeast Asians who will be visiting from 02-13 January 2025. Please advise us!

1. Will it be snowing during our trip?
2. Will the walking trails in Sandyanko Gorge and Miyajima Island be open for tourists?
3. Where can we find sofubi and keshigomu?

Thank you!

This might be a lost cause, but I wonder if someone can look for something in a certain 7-11 for me? It was a Japan road atlas/map book, and we only saw it at one single 7-11, across from the Eneos beside the T-Bridge. I realise this sounds ridiculous but my husband is beating himself up that he didn't buy it when we were over there, because it ended up not being at any other store, and he can't find anything similar online. Another thing - this was a year ago that we were there! But I'm hoping maybe it's something they always carry?? I can PayPal for the book and shipping (or e-transfer if you have a Canadian bank account). Thanks to anyone in advance!

Our family of three moving to hiroshima for long term. We are wondering where to rent apartment and which part of the city is more convenient for us. Husband wants to rent a place right next to Hijiyama Rigikun cemetery. But I think living next to cemetery is too scary

Just saw from our hotel room a group of about 50 or so people chanting and carrying something, some carrying traffic directors.

Anyone know what this is about? Interested to know because we’re pretty high up and didn’t get a good view.

I'm visiting Hiroshima for the first time next week and was wondering if there were any Halloween themed parties/ events going on? Google has offered no suggestions of activities for adults, but I'd love to go to a scare maze / horror house or go to a themed club night. If all else fails I'll be dressing up and heading to a random bar anyway, but wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions, please?🎃
